The USB-802 2 Port Dual-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support, supports all popular USB keyboards, USB mice, PC audio components, and video resolution up to 1600 by 1200 at 75Hz per monitor.

At the heart of the USB-802 2 Port Dual-Head USB KVM Switch is Vetra's advanced, patented technology, which provides and supports true USB functionality through the switch. Connected keyboards, mice and/or devices enumerate and operate correctly, even through a hub. Devices may be "hot-plugged" at any time, and the connected PCs may be powered up and down in any order. The unique architecture of all USB-802 2 Port USB KVM Switch models ensures error free boot up and device driver loading for each connected PC, and allows the MegaSwitch to operate transparently with all PCs and MAC's, PC operating systems, and applications.

The USB-802 2 Port Dual-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support comes in a variety of standard configurations, is compact in design, easy to install and operate, and is ideally suited for desktop use, however, for applications requiring rack mounting, an optional 2U height rack mount tray is available (see Accessories ).

OPERATION:

All USB-802 "MegaSwitch" 2 Port Dual-Head USB KVM Switch models can select the active PC via a keyboard "hot-key" sequence ( [scroll lock] + [1] for PC1, or [scroll lock] + [2] for PC2, or by a push button(s) located on the front panel of the KVM Switch. Only "powered" PCs may be selected.

Direct Entry models (as indicated by -DE in the model number) have 2 individual push button switches for selecting the active PC channel as well as an "auto-scan" mode ([scroll lock] +"A"). Auto-scan sequentially switches through each connected and powered PC, pausing for 5 seconds at each PC before automatically switching to the next PC. The selection of any powered PC channel terminates the auto-scan mode. Non-DE models have a single push button (NEXT PC) which toggles between the two selectable PC channels.

In all cases on either model, when a PC channel is selected, an LED on the front panel illuminates to indicate the selected PC while additional front panel LED's indicate which PC channels are powered. Upon selection, the intelligence in the MegaSwitch correctly sets the keyboard's status indicators, CAPS, SCROLL, and NUM Lock, as these settings may be different for each PC. The keyboard and/or mouse may be disconnected and re-connected (hot-plugged), or exchanged at any time without having to power down the connected PC's. This feature is useful if a connected device fails during a critical application.
